It would be more interesting to investigate whether Gradle could provide a programmatic API that allows easily using any JVM language to define builds. Such that one may write a build.groovy instead of a build.gradle, statically compiled, running against the gradle API. Such that no custom editor besides a standard Groovy editor would be needed in the first place. And there would be nothing stopping people from writing build scripts in other languages like scala or clojure. Maybe that's already possible, but my impression has been that the current Gradle API is not that great to program against, nor is it clear which parts are public API that can be relied upon and which parts are internal and likely to change.
*cringe* This sounds too much like maven-polyglot to me. -- Schalk W. Cronjé Twitter / Ello / Toeter : @ysb33r
